ATRA makes Continuing Education more convenient than ever

The American Therapeutic Recreation Association (ATRA) is pleased to announce the release of a new Audiotape Program that will make continuing education easier than ever for recreational therapists and other allied healthcare professionals.

Presenters for these topics are well known experts in the profession providing the most up-to-date information. The tapes cover a wide range of topics.
